America’s baby bust continues 📉

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.

No child should be the victim of war. No parent should have to bury their little one because of violence. What’s happening right now is not politics — it’s humanity. We cannot stay silent. ✊🏽💔

If none of your ancestors are Indigenous to this land, then your family came here from somewhere else. We’re all connected by migration. 🌍✨

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Reinstate Jimmy Kimmel and stop caving to authoritarian censorship!
